High-protein diet as bad for health as smoking For anyone thats seen the News that red meat and protein is as bad for you as smoking, heres my take. telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/10676877/High-protein-diet-as-bad-for-health-as-smoking.html 1. The study was done on rats, not people 2. The study was on cheese, burgers, etc - processed food bad for you shocker 3. The study only suggests an area for further exploration. Quote: Dr Gunter Kuhnle, a food nutrition scientist at the University of Reading, said: “While this study raises some interesting perspectives on links between protein intake and mortality… It is wrong, and potentially even dangerous, to compare the effects of smoking with the effect of meat and cheese. Then what does the bloody headline say that for? 4. Such studies always show that eating more protein is good for you up to a point - ie: a good amount is much better than too little. Never see that mentioned. Ill try and read the raw data later, but thought Id share this for now. Thoughts people?
